In an official statement announcing the new world record, the White House called Trumpâ€™s second unconstitutional ban â€œespecially impressiveâ€ because it came only thirty-eight days after his first. â€œIn addition to the world record for unconstitutional travel bans, President Trump has also smashed the speed record for signing them,â€ the statement read. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, touted the new world record in a press briefing that sometimes resembled a victory lap. â€œAfter the first unconstitutional travel ban, a lot of people questioned whether the President could follow it up with another unconstitutional one so quickly,â€ a gloating Spicer said. â€œI think he silenced a lot of doubters today.â€ In a tense moment, Spicer lashed out at a reporter who claimed that, by issuing two unconstitutional travel bans in less than two months, Trump had â€œset the bar too high.â€ â€œThe travel ban he is planning to sign tomorrow will be more unconstitutional than the first two travel bans put together,â€ Spicer snapped.
